		Meighen then told me, "there could be no better precept for British statesmanship." This was the man they called the reactionary, this was the man they called an arch-imperialist, and this was the man who was neither a reactionary nor an imperialist in the wrong sense.
		And Meighen said to him "next time you are in the Parliamentary library you find out, it's there somewhere." Brockington, when he went back to Ottawa went to the Parliamentary library and looked up this missing verse and he found that Meighen hadn't even missed a comma in the verse that he had quoted.
		Meighen was on a boat coming from Australia and he had a cablegram from the Canadian Club in Vancouver asking him if he would speak to them when he got to Vancouver and would he indicate to them what he would like to speak about, what the subject would be.

		Meighen had largely missed his children's formative years, but he was determined to provide for them and his future grandchildren whatever material support they might need as they made their own way into responsible adulthood.

		Canadian prime minister Arthur Meighen (who once appeared in the House of Commons wearing carpet slippers) was famed for his sartorial indifference.
		One of his tattered overcoats (which he had worn for several years) was such a disgrace that, while travelling aboard a train one day, some of his friends removed it from the hook upon which it was hanging and tossed it through a window.
		To their dismay (and Meighen's delight), the article was found by a railway employee who dutifully returned it to its owner - who was still wearing it several years later.
